<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 74362, member: 3011"]Silver is a pretty special material for industry. Silver halides have greater sensitivity to light than any known chemical. It conducts heat and electricity better than any other metal. It is the most reflective of all metals. It is the most ductile metal except for gold. It is very stable chemically. It has unique bacteriostatic properties. It resists corrosion. It is also very rare, even more rare than gold when you measure by above-ground stockpiles. And the list goes on and on. Yes, it is true that there are replacements for silver in various industrial uses, but at a cost in dollars and performance. No doubt the replacements will be used someday, but only after silver reaches a sustained higher price than today. Once the price of silver goes up, it is unlikely to go back down. Waiting for $4 silver to return makes about as much sense as waiting for the price of a mid-sized car to go back to $2,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>So save those silver coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
